puddin! thanks for the detailed explanation, they might be the same though. Nevertheless, 3 FF team way is better than 2, so it's gonna be awesome! Can't wait for season 14! more diversity, FF team in the final 3 and I hope they win!!!! omg! I'm so excited!

You know how astronomers find new stars by looking where there's a blank spot in the night sky? Yeah that's kind of the way it is with TAR.

Popped by the Phuket Zoo, and the staff there were very reluctant about saying anything to do with filming! There were some pretty lame excuses ("Oh there are many people." "Oh I forget."), so I can pretty much confirm that this is one of our racers' locations!

Which, sad to say, kind of means a monkey show is slated to appear on our TV screens soon.

Found out that Neobie in Chinese means "f*king awesome"! No, really. Look it up!

We don't know that she doesn't sign? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, I don't think someone would go through so much trouble to make up a story you know? If its fake I'll take the blame so says Michael

I think it looks like they are doing a zoom in on the clue. I think if the womens info is legit the blonde auburn women can speak and she can read lips as well as signs so she new what the women was saying. I am just being optimistic hoping this info is legit!

Certainly deaf people can speak, it is just that I understood that all of her communication would be captioned, as in "translated", so I assumed that speech might not be her primary mode, which led me to believe that she would be signing.

There is still a division among which route is better for hearing impaired children: do you mainstream them into lip reading and speech or do you go with primarily signing?

The way the info was relayed to me made me think that signing would be the case here, but that could always be my misinterpretation of what I was told. If so, it will be my bad!

A deaf person? Wow! I got the chance to meet Heather Whitestone, the first (and I think only) deaf Miss America, and I got her autograph! It was at the Miss America Boardwalk Parade when it was in Atlantic City. This is another team I'll be rooting for!

Thank you so much for being persistent in finding a way to share this with us, and please thank your Mom's friend as well, I hope she is safe?

What great luck to have a TAR fan see them at the airport!

Would it be possible to clarify with her which airport, what date she saw them, and the approximate time? Which way were they headed?

I will be eager to hear more about her description of the hearing impaired racer-- as we all know, Adrian and Collin showed in TARA 2 that winning the race is totally possible for a hearing impaired racer. I think seeing the communication dynamics will be so interesting--perhaps it won't even be an issue! I remember Adrain and Collin saying that sign language could be a great way for them to communicate privately, so it could be fun to see if that happens here. Clearly they are doing great in the race to make it this far!

And please let me know if I can help with links to TAR13 for you...
